Posted:Ive seen the move where people look like they are "spraying" fire from there poi while they spin.
I'm assuming this is just done by not spinning off your poi first. If im wrong point me in the right direction. Or are there a few different techniques for this?

Posted:Good evening ubersmack. What I believe you are referring to is using wire wool instead of conventional wicks.... Like this?
Sparkley Poi
There are loads and loads and loads of threads floating about using wire wool... like this:
Ta da!
...and this:
Oooooooooooo!
...and again:
Schwing!
...and again:
POW!
What I'm trying to say is you should dig about on this website. Its been going for yonks, and there is sooo much information on here already, you're less than a few clicks away from finding it.
[plus you save me the job of doing all those linkys]
But yeah! Check out that search function... Its ace.
Non-Https Image Link
Other than that... GOOD LUCK! Make sure you read all the safety things too, rather useful.

Posted:Good lord woman, just b/c you took all that time to write that huge post and find all those threads i looked at every single one. Tons of information, i found just what i was looking for, thanks.
On the other hand, I hate search functions. Making new threads gives new people chances to reply and speak there minds!! Not to mention it keeps the boards interesting with new things to read!! If you only have one thread for each topic then your going to run out of stuff to talk about and the board becomes a bore!! I'm not being critical you should just not jump down peoples throats when they ask for help. You were once the new person here to.

Eggsactly that might be what the mod's and long timers would like to, therefore advising "searches" for stuff that has been discussed, debated, torn apart and put back together on a molecular level for a thousand times already...
Asena, you rock!
can I hire you as my personal HoP search engine? 
Pleeeeeeeeeease!
No desire left unfullfilled, except maybe filtering and putting it together in a handy lil' PM...

Making new threads gives new people chances to reply and speak there minds!! Not to mention it keeps the boards interesting with new things to read!!
But its not a new thing to read. Its an old thing. A question that has been answered many many times before.
Also there are many other ways for newbies to bond with the existing community besides making duplicate threads. Theres the introductions section, social chat and discussion and all the technical forums undearneath those where old and new members alike can talk about pretty much whatever the fancy!

In my opinion, one thread for each topic seems fine.
And I fail to see why mutiple threads for one topic would mean there would be more to talk about.
Also multiple threads make information much much harder to find.
And why on earth would you write out a whole new post, and wait for people to reply, when you could easily just search and have the information at your fingertips straight away!
And believe me - the diversity and bredth of this community means there will always be something to talk about.

Uber, the older members of the board don't go out intentially to jump down the throats of newer additions to the community, but hopefully you can imagine the frustration some people feel after having been asked the same questions over, and over, and over again.
In short, we like to keep the board tidy, where previously asked information can be found easily.
Also lots and lots of the same thing just takes up unecessary bandwidth - which has to be paid for by Malcolm, the site creator.
I hope you understand this

Whilst Matt does *like* to jump down people's throats in... erm... other ways. he's one of the nicest chaps you could possibly meet.
I'm also a moderator of another board, but you should know that all forums work differently. This one is no exception.

I didn't mean to cause offence?!
It was purely a random post meant in a light hearted manner, answering your question . This board is full of nice people, so I doubt you'll ever come across a sarcastic message which is meant to offend.
And, welcome to HoP!!
Have you had any luck with ze sparkwy poi?

nah i have to build some now, im not going to rush into it and not do it right and get a wad of flaming steel wool in my face.
Not to mention its still cold here in Wisconsin, supposed to be in the 50-60's this time of year and its freakin 20-30, not really outdoor weather unless your a polar bear.
So I have read through all of the forums I can find, and am now wondering what diameter and length of wire tube is kind of "the norm". People had suggested several things, and just want to know if anyone has had luck with one thing more than the other.

I believe so. He's the chap who tried to have me thrown off a cliff into a fire... some form of sacrificial burning. Awfully good fun. Until some guy came and started throwing parafin on me... that got silly.

I went out and bought neccesary items and put together a small 2-3 diameter ball to test it out, worked like a charm. Now I just have to put together some larger ones.
Once again thanks for the help.
